International Judo Federation bans Iran after Iranian authorities forced judoka to withdraw rather than face Israeli

Sep 20, 2019 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

Finally, some consequences for Iran’s never-ending hatred and bloodlust.

“International Judo Federation bans Iran from all future competitions,” by Alon Einhorn, Jerusalem Post, September 18, 2019:

The International Judo Federation (IJF) on Wednesday suspended Iran from competing in any future judo competition due to the fact that Iranian judoka “Saeid Mollaei has been instructed by the Iranian authorities and the Iran Judo Federation to withdraw from competing to avoid a potential contest against an Israeli athlete…Sagi Muki,” the IJF notice read.

Upon Mollaei’s loss at his semi-final bout at the Judo World Championship in Tokyo last month, he was rushed by members of the IJF to Germany, where he revealed that he was instructed to throw his battles to avoid competing against Muki.

In a letter it sent to the IJF in March 15, Iran promised it would “fully respect the Olympic Charter and its non-discrimination principle” Another letter sent on May 8 confirmed once again that Iran “shall fully respect the Olympic Charter and its non-discrimination principle, and the Islamic Republic Iran Federation shall fully comply with the Olympic Charter and the IJF Statute.”

The confirmation by Mollaei that Iran had instructed him to lose on purpose so as not to face Muki led the IJF to publish a letter affirming that due to the country’s actions, the federation pronounced “a protective suspension from all competitions, administrative and social activities organized or authorized by International Judo Federation and its Unions, started from 18 September 2019 to the final Commission decision regarding this case.”…

    They should be banned from many competitive games for disallowing women to participate or forcing them to wear hijab

      No, dear friend, a Jew and other KAFIRS are NAJIS (ritually and physically dirty and polluted).

      A Muslim who touches KAFIR will be POLLUTED, so some Muslims avoid even a handshake.

      Among things that are najasun (plural of najis, translated variously as “impure” or “filthy”) are the following:
      *dirt
      *human urine and feces
      *other liquids that come out of private parts (presumably including sperm)
      *excrement from animals
      *menstrual blood
      *dog saliva
      *dead animals
      *donkey’s flesh
      *the foul smell that accrues on a long hem of a woman’s abaya over time from contact with the dirt
      *the urine from a breast-fed baby

      And these are not merely “dirty” things for physical hygiene — they directly relate to a Muslim’s “purity” during prayer.

      Menstruating Muslim women are also NAJIS to other Muslim women.

      Fortunately, Muslim males who touch a woman, may purify themselves by ‘washing’ themselves with ‘clean dirt’ when water is unavailable. So, Islam teaches that a woman is dirtier than dirt itself.

        How is Krishna wrong about women and Islam? If Muslims do not want to act like civilized human beings, they can pull out of participating in sports all together.

    They’re afraid of losing to Israel.

      Yes–why wouldn’t they want to show the world they are better than the Joooooos? Because they probably aren’t…

    Iranian government rhetoric: “We’ll wipe Israel off the map!!!!!”

    Iranian government to an athlete competing in a martial art: “Lose so you don’t have to face an Israeli”.

    ………………….

    Good for the International Judo Federation–there should always be consequences for this kind of poor sportsmanship–but there rarely is.
